Quirk (power):

Quirk name: Erasure Quirk type: Emitter Quirk Range: Long

Quirk explanation: Eraser Head's Quirk allows him to nullify another person's Quirk and render it completely useless and unusable by looking at them. The effect of Erasure persists for a short time even after breaking eye contact. His Quirk is only active while he maintains eye contact with one or more people who have a Quirk to begin with, and the effect ends once he blinks or looks away, restoring the use of the affected’s Quirk. His Quirk does not work on anyone who is Quirkless, however, only one part of the victim’s body has to be in his sights in order for him to use his Quirk. Erasure does not affect appendages that are permanently a part of Mutant Quirk users, but it can impair their functions as the Quirk factor that incorporates all of the necessary mechanics to operate the Quirk itself are temporarily nullified.

Typical fighting style: Agile and close + Support combat

Support weapon?: Yes Weapon name: Capture scarf

Support weapon explanation: The capturing scarf is an incredibly long, silver colored scarf made of steel wire alloy woven with carbon nano fibers. Aizawa is able to use it as an extension of his fighting style and Quirk for immobilizing enemies, swinging across terrain, and setting traps. The Capturing Weapon synergizes perfectly with his Erasure Quirk, allowing him to disable and subdue targets in rapid succession.

Clothing style:

Hero costume: A baggy black outfit with a long-sleeved shirt and matching pants that tuck into his boots. He also wears a utility belt and his signature wrap scarf at all times. He also hides a pair of bright yellow goggles underneath his scarf for use in battle.

Formal wear: A black suit, a tie, and white dress shirt. While in this attire, his hair is well-groomed and held back in a low bun at the base of his neck, along with sometimes shaving to have a cleaner apperance.

Informal clothing: Shota prefers loose, casual clothing as an aesthetic when simply relaxing around his apartment or having downtime. An example of this would be a loose black shirt with long sleeves and his hair in a messy bun.

Personality:

Shota is a very stern and reserved man who has lofty expectations of his students. He is primarily motivated by logic and does not believe in the necessity to maintain a clean-cut appearance or filter his words or ideas for others. He often comes off as cold, apathetic, and impatient, exerting very little energy in most situations, preferring to take naps in his sleeping bag instead. As a teacher with notoriously high expectations, Shota is known to expel students who he feels are not suited for U.A. High. However, it's revealed that this high expulsion rate is only on paper and that he actually re-enrolls the students he expels: Shota does this so they can experience "death" once, giving them an experience that drives them to push even higher, although it is noteworthy that he has not expelled any students from Class 1-A yet. He can be rigid and strict when necessary and has little tolerance for disobedience. Shota is not afraid of putting his students through rigorous training and often emphasizes the more unpleasant parts of heroism so that his students can overcome their limits. Shota has proven to be very vocal and unafraid when expressing his ideas. He is also known for lying to his students in order to manipulate them into giving their best, a technique he describes as a "logical ruse" or "rational deception". Despite his apathetic traits, Shota genuinely cares about his students and will go to great lengths to protect them, sometimes becoming wrathful when people provoke him by endangering those he cares about. Shota is also quite nurturing when needed to those who are especially vulnerable, such as young children.

Backstory:

During his time as a student at U.A. High School, Shota was a gloomy and introverted young man who held severe doubts over whether he could be a hero, as his Quirk, Erasure, while useful, couldn't do much by itself. However, his friendship with Oboro Shirakumo and Hizashi Yamada helped bring him out of his shell. Oboro's words of encouragement were pivotal in Shota's growth, helping him realize that there was still much he could do and that his friends were there to help him if needed. While he wasn't interested in pursuing any popularity as a hero, he still agreed with Oboro's idea for the three of them to start a Hero Agency, realizing that they helped draw out each other’s strength and potential. However, everything changed after Oboro was killed in a fierce attack by the villain known as Garvey. The grief of losing his close friend strongly impacted Shota and caused him to lock in on his commitment to becoming a hero. However, this also caused him to develop his solitary tendencies, barely interacting with any of his classmates, and taking breaks by napping in his sleeping bag. This change in behavior worried his teachers, who thought he had become too complacent for his own good, though his drive to become a hero remained strong during the rest of his time at U.A. While his teacher advised him not to rush his career, upon graduating from high school, Shota made the decision to become an underground hero who would specialize in fighting villains, leading to him becoming the serious and driven man that he is now, Eraser Head. As a teacher, Shota is exceptionally tough on his students, strictly driving them to do better than what they assume is the best of their abilities. He even occasionally criticizes U.A. because of his firm beliefs in going above in beyond when teaching the next generation of heroes. He has mentioned on several occasions that some of U.A.'s choices when it comes to examinations are not practical or challenging enough for real hero hopefuls and is adamant about having certain systems used by the institution changed. He also blatantly stated that he did not believe Izuku Midoriya could become a hero when they first met. Despite his personality, Shota has shown on several occasions that he is not soulless, cruel, or completely devoid of joy and humor: he often grins whenever he is impressed by one of his students or after he tricks them with one of his "rational deceptions."
